Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to share this Special Issue on microbial electrochemical cells (MxCs) with you. We have studied MxCs for approximately 20 years. Fundamental understanding of MxCs has progressed, and a variety of MxC applications have been created. However, MxCs have not been deployed into practice yet. What is the bottleneck to this delay? In this Special Issue, we can collectively ponder limiting parameters and technical challenges to MxC applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
